Recycling of thin walled AZ91D magnesium alloy die-castings with paint finishing.

Tensile and fatigue behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy

Recently magnesium alloys, owing to their low density and excellent specific strength have been attractive to designers as an advanced material for coping with energy conservation and environmental pollution regulations. Much of the recent developments of magnesium alloys and processes have been driven by the requirements of the aerospace industry, although some successful ones have found appli...

Microstructure and corrosion characteristics of laser-alloyed magnesium alloy AZ91D with Al-Si powder.

Blown-powder laser surface alloying was performed on the magnesium alloy AZ91D with Al-Si alloy powder to improve corrosion resistance. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of Mg2Si, Al12Mg17 and Al3Mg2 were formed in the matrix of α-Mg and Al solid solutions...

Influence of Zeolite Coating on the Corrosion Resistance of AZ91D Magnesium Alloy

The protective performance of zeolite coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 0.1 M sodium chloride solution (NaCl). Electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) was developed based upon hypothetical corrosion mechanisms and simulated to correspond to the experimental data. The morphology and the chemical natur...
